Success Secrets: Don’t work hard, work intelligently

by Ben Francia |Last Updated: March 15, 2013

Sometimes, working hard is not so good because working intelligently can be better.

It’s always better to solve a problem with the right solution rather than just working on the problem. An example of this is the image shown above.

They all had to move forward with the ball, but only one of them thought of a way to do it faster and more efficiently; hence, he was ahead of them all.

It’s not cheating; it’s being more efficient and smart about work. And as entrepreneurs, we need efficiency the most. We don’t have the luxury of time to simply devote ourselves to just one task. We need to spread our time in order to oversee that our business is doing well.

Nowadays, working hard is followed so much anymore. Entrepreneurs feel that working smart is the way to go. That’s why we take advantage of the latest technology; like how we market our products online. We don’t just go door to door like what salesman used to do before to introduce a product, we promote our products over different mediums that will access a larger audience.

Don’t just do something the exact way of doing it, find a better way to do it. Be different and be innovative. That’s how you will truly succeed.

Go on, work smart!
